Pause in His Presence, that’s where peace is found. The following is from Psalm 46, The Passion Version.

I feel the most important words in this Psalm are, “Pause in His Presence.” That’s where our strength is, in His Presence.

Psalms 46-

“God, you’re such a safe and powerful place to find refuge! You’re a proven help in time of trouble— more than enough and always available whenever I need you.
